*Minimum and maximum depth - if the depth of the water is between the min and max, then the fish is more likely to be caught; otherwise it’s harder the further away from either limit you are.
*Rod types
*Time of day - some fish like to feed in the morning, afternoon, evening or even at night. Morning (4:30-10:30) | Afternoon (10:30-16:30) | Evening (16:30-22:30) | Night (22:30-4:30). A higher number means the fish is more likely to feed at those times (on a scale of 1-4).*Bait - each fish has a favorite bait, some (on a scale of 1-10). Some it likes, others it is less likely to eat, and some it will never touch.
*Outside or in caves - some fish are only found underground. Rare fish can only be caught on special tiles (which are out at sea).
*Fishing height - how deep the fish swim.
